Meanwhile, singer Pat Boone[8] told voters he was “singing the praises of Lang Sias,” a former naval Top Gun instructor and a national guardsman.

Frazier[9] and Sias[10] are competing in the Aug. 10 primary. The winner faces U.S. Rep. Ed Perlmutter[11], D-Golden, who is seeking a third term in the district, which covers portions of Adams, Arapahoe and Jefferson counties.

Allen became Ronald Reagan’s national security adviser after he won his first presidential election in 1980. He now lives in Colorado, and is a fellow at the Hoover Institution and Colorado Christian University’s Centennial Institute.

“Ryan Frazier is a 21st Century leader with the national security experience and ideas to defend our global leadership in education, science and technology, and defense,” Allen said in a statement. “I know and admire Ryan’s fine record of service to our country. Ryan Frazier really gets it and, as Colorado residents, we need him representing this great state and its vital interests in Washington.”

Boone is a singer, conservative political commentator and spokesman for the 60 Plus Association. In recorded calls to voters 60 and older last night, Boone swooned over Sias.

“This is Pat Boone[12], the ‘Love Letters in the Sand’ guy,” the call began.

“I’m still singing at concerts, but today, as spokesman for the 60 Plus Association, I’m singing the praises of Lang Sias. I’m calling to let you know Lang Sias has been named a Guardian of Seniors Rights by the 60 Plus Association. If you’re like me, you’ve had enough of career politicians trying to pass themselves off as real conservatives. Lang Sias is combat veteran, a devoted dad and true conservative.

“Remember to mark your ballot for Lang Sias for Congress. This is Pat Boone saying so long.”
